the expiration of the Study Period (which notice shall specify the reason(s) why
Patriot is terminating this Agreement), at which time this Agreement shall
terminate and Patriot and Crow shall be released from all further liability or
obligation hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this

the Land and the Improvements, prepared by a Surveyor licensed to practice as
such in the State where the Land is located and reasonably acceptable to

Crow shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to cause the Title Company to

(i) a title insurance commitment bearing an effective date subsequent to the
date of this Agreement issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property,
binding the Title Company to issue its Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, in
form generally used in major commercial transactions in the state where the
Property is located in favor of Patriot, showing title held currently by Crow in
a good, indefeasible/marketable and insurable condition, together with legible
copies of all documents identified in such title insurance commitment as
exceptions to title certified as true and complete by the Title Company
(collectively, the "Title Commitment"), and (ii) reports of searches of the
----------------
Uniform Commercial Code records of both the county and State in which the
Property is located (collectively, the "UCC Reports") with respect to the state
-----------
of title to the Property. Prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Patriot
will notify Crow of any matters shown on the Survey or identified in the Title
Commitment or the UCC Reports that Patriot is unwilling to accept (collectively,
"Patriot's Objections"). Within ten (10) days after receiving Patriot's
--------------------
Objections (the "Cure Period"), Crow shall specify which of Patriot's Objections
-----------
Crow will cure, remove or bond around, if any, by delivering to Patriot written
notice thereof; however, Crow shall, at its sole cost and expense, be obligated
to cure, remove or bond around by Closing, in a manner sufficient to cause the
Title Company to insure over such item, all delinquent taxes and all mortgages,
deeds of trust, security agreements, construction or mechanics' liens, tax liens
or other liens in a fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum. If Crow
does not deliver the Title Commitment or the UCC Reports as aforesaid or if,
before the Cure Period expires and other than those items which Crow is
obligated to cure, remove or bond around, as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, Crow does not agree in writing to cure, remove or bond
around all of Patriot's Objections at or prior to Closing, Patriot may either
(a) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Crow within
ten (10) days after the Cure Period expires or (b) purchase the Hotel subject to
such Patriot's Objections, in which case, such Patriot's Objections shall be
Permitted Title Exceptions. Crow shall not, after the date of this Agreement,
subject the Real Property to or permit or suffer to exist any new liens,
attachments, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or
other title matters or seek any zoning changes or take any other action which
may affect or modify the status of title without Patriot's prior written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless same are discharged
at or prior to Closing, and Patriot shall not be required to take title to the
Real Property subject to any matters which may arise subsequent to the effective
date of the Title Commitment, UCC Reports and Survey examined by Patriot if such
matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
value, use, insurability, marketability or operation of the Property, unless
Patriot has consented thereto. All title matters revealed by the Title
Commitment, UCC Reports and Survey and not objected to by Patriot as provided
above (other than delinquent taxes and any mortgages, deeds of trust, security
agreements and other liens and charges that are to be paid at Closing) shall be
deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. Patriot and Crow agree that the Occupancy
Agreements previously disclosed to Patriot are Permitted Title Exceptions.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
9.1 Condemnation. In the event of any actual or threatened taking,
------------
pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of all or any portion of the Real
Property, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof, Crow shall give written notice
thereof to Patriot promptly after Crow learns or receives notice thereof. If
all or a Substantial Portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Real Property is,
or is to be, so condemned or sold, Patriot shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement. If Patriot elects not to terminate this Agreement, all
proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such condemnation or sale
(actual or threatened) shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Patriot at
Closing. Crow shall not settle or compromise any such proceeding without
Patriot's written consent. If Patriot elects to terminate this Agreement by
giving Crow written notice thereof prior to the Closing, all rights and
obligations of Crow and Patriot hereunder (except those set forth herein which
expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately.
In the event any portion of the Real Property is affected by a condemnation,
sale or eminent domain action and such condemnation, sale or eminent domain
action does not constitute a Substantial Portion of the Real Property, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without a reduction in the
Purchase Price except as provided below. In the event of any such condemnation,
sale or eminent domain action that does not constitute a Substantial Portion of
the Real Property, Patriot shall be entitled to any and all claims that Crow may
have to condemnation awards or any and all causes of action with
30
respect to such condemnation, sale or eminent domain action (all of which shall
be assigned by Crow to Patriot at Closing), and Crow shall credit to Patriot at
Closing, by an appropriate adjustment to the Purchase Price, an amount equal to
all payments (if any) theretofore received by Crow with respect to such
condemnation, sale or eminent domain action. For purposes of this Section 9.1,
-----------
a "Substantial Portion" shall mean a condemnation of in excess of $1,000,000 in
-------------------
value of the Real Property. This provision shall survive the Closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby.
9.2 Risk of Loss. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property prior to
------------
the recordation of the Deed shall remain upon Crow. If any such loss or damage
which constitutes Substantial Loss or Damage occurs prior to Closing, Patriot
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If Patriot elects not to
terminate this Agreement, all insurance proceeds and rights to proceeds arising
out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Patriot
at Closing and Patriot shall receive as a credit against the Purchase Price the
amount of any deductibles under the policies of insurance covering such loss or
damage. If Patriot elects to terminate this Agreement by giving Crow written
notice thereof prior to the Closing, all rights and obligations of Crow and
Patriot hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately. In the event any of
the Property or any of the items constituting the Personal Property should be
damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or other casualty and such damage does
not constitute Substantial Loss or Damage and such damage is not repaired prior
to Closing, the rights and obligations of Crow and Patriot hereunder with
respect to the Property shall not be affected by such destruction or damage and
Patriot shall accept title to the Property in its destroyed or damaged
condition. In such event, at the Closing, all insurance proceeds and rights to
proceeds arising out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as
applicable, and Patriot shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal
to the amount of any deductibles under the policies of insurance covering such
loss or damage. For purposes of this Section 9.2, "Substantial Loss or Damage"
----------- --------------------------
shall mean loss or damage, the cost for repair of which (as mutually determined
by Patriot and Crow at the time of such loss or damage) exceeds $1,000,000.00.
In the event that Patriot and Crow are unable to agree on the cost of repair of
any Substantial Loss or Damage, then such cost of repair shall be determined by
an insurance adjuster selected by Crow and approved by Patriot, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall survive the Closing of
the transaction contemplated hereby.
9.3 Absence of Broker. There is no real estate broker involved in this
-----------------
transaction. Patriot warrants and represents to Crow that Patriot has not dealt
with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Patriot
been introduced to the Property or to Crow by any real estate broker, and
Patriot shall indemnify Crow and save and hold Crow harmless from and against
any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever
arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real
estate brokerage commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with
Patriot, or as a result of having introduced Patriot to Crow or to the Property.
In like manner, Crow warrants and represents to Patriot that Crow has not dealt
with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Crow
been introduced to Patriot by any real estate broker, and Crow shall indemnify
Patriot and save and hold Patriot harmless from and against any claims, suits,
demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of
the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage
commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with Crow in connection
with this transaction.
31
9.4 Bulk Sale. Crow shall indemnify Patriot and save and hold Patriot
---------
harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands, liabilities or obligations
of any kind or nature whatsoever, including all costs of defending same, and
reasonable attorneys' fees paid or incurred in connection therewith, arising out
of or relating to any claim made by any third party or any liability asserted by
any third party that any applicable bulk sales law or like statute has not been
complied with. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby.
9.5 Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
9.6 Crow's Accounts Receivable. Except as otherwise provided herein, it
--------------------------
is expressly agreed by and between Patriot and Crow that Crow is not hereby
agreeing to sell to Patriot, and Patriot is not hereby agreeing to purchase from
Crow, any of Crow's accounts receivable. All of Crow's accounts receivable
shall be and remain the property of Crow, subsequent to the Closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby. At the Closing, Crow shall prepare a list of
its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the
Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Crow.
Patriot shall hold any funds received by Patriot explicitly designated as
payment of such accounts receivable, in trust, if Patriot actually collects any
such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Crow at
the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount
collected on each such account. Undesignated payments of accounts receivable
from account debtors owing amounts to both Crow and Patriot, which payments are
received by Patriot within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, shall first
be applied to Crow's accounts receivable which are no more than sixty (60) days
delinquent as of the Closing Date; and any other undesignated payments shall
first be applied to Patriot's accounts receivable and then to Crow's. Other
than the foregoing, Patriot shall have no obligation with respect to any such
account, and Patriot shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or
action to effect collection on behalf of Crow. It is generally the intention of
Patriot and Crow that although all of Crow's accounts receivable shall be and
remain the property of Crow, still, if any such accounts are paid to Patriot,
then Patriot shall collect same and remit to Crow in the manner above provided.
Without first notifying Patriot in writing and giving Patriot a thirty (30) day
period to attempt to enforce collection of any delinquent payment, Crow agrees
that it shall not bring any legal action to enforce collection of such payment
of any accounts receivable against any current tenant of the Property or other
third party in a contractual or business relationship with the Property which
existed as of the Closing Date.
